Re: Project Number: EX-07-001, Youth Outdoors Richmond, $700,000 Dear Jene Levine Snipes:
Congratulations! The Department of Parks and Recreation's Office of Grants and Local Services (OGALS) is pleased to inform you that the above grant has been selected for funding through the Outdoor Equity Grants Program! This round of applications was highly competitive, with 384 applications requesting $167.8 million.
We look forward to working with your agency to ensure successful completion of the project. The project file will be transferred to a Grant Administration Project Officer, who will be your point of contact through the term of this project. Our Office of Grants and Local Services will contact you soon to schedule a mandatory grant administration technical assistance workshop. As a reminder, funding is not guaranteed until the grant contract is signed by your agency's authorized representative and the State of California.
If you have any questions, please contact your Competitive Review Project Officer Esmeralda Bermudez at [email protected] or (916) 704-5325.
The Department appreciates its partnership with local agencies to improve the health and wellness of communities by creating new outdoor program opportunities. Again, congratulations on this grant selection!
Sincerely,
Armando Quintero, Director
